I like nature, and at every opportunity I respect our environment (hey, I drive a Vespa afterall).
A couple of days ago Erin and I were in front of the Ballston Commons Mall, and we saw a young guy (aged 16-18 I’d guess) run up to a tree near us. He threw his arms around it and hugged the tree for several seconds. It seemed a most passionate embrace!
And then the hug ended, and he kept walking down the street. So there it is, I’ve seen a real-life tree hugger.
